Census of Population and Housing, 1990 [United States]: Summary Tape File 420, Place of Work 20 Destinations File (ICPSR 6212)

Principal Investigator(s):
United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census

Summary:

Summary Tape File 420 (STF 420) contains sample data
weighted to represent the total population of workers 16 years old and
over as well as 100-percent counts of all persons and housing units.
Included are five population tables and one housing table for each
state and its subareas in hierarchical sequences down to the census
tract/block numbering area (BNA) level. For workers 16 years old and
over, data for 20 places of work and for those working elsewhere are
provided for five race groups: (1) White, (2) Black, (3) American
Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut, (4) Asian or Pacific Islander, (5) other race
and Hispanic origin by race. In addition, a supplemental file, Part 80,
is provided that includes a machine-readable list of the total number
of workers living in each county and, for that county, the number of
persons working in the 20 destinations listed as well as a "worked
elsewhere" category for the remainder of places worked. The list also
applies to the sub-county geographic units (census tracts/BNAs) and
contains a variety of geographic entities as destinations (the number
of destinations may be less than 20).
